Choice of threads to be displayed

Personally, I think it would be a very good idea to let people choose which threads are going to be displayed to them.

Lately, I have noticed that I am finding the thought of having a look at what's going on at ATS increasingly off-putting. (Initially, I couldn't
wait for it!)
And the reason for that is the simple fact that, to see anything that I find interesting, I have to scan the titles of all the threads displayed.

That might seem like a minor annoyance. But the fact is the sheer ignorance and aggressiveness encapsulated in many titles - and yes, even improper
punctuation and misspelling (fuzzy writing = fuzzy thoughts) - can become VERY depressing over time.
(And it's no wonder, really: if even a website with so many visitors from all over the world can show so few people equipped for a truly
stimulating - not to mention respectful - discussion and exchange of opinions, then the global situation seems pretty bleak.)

Would it be possible to arrange for a feature that would enable one to personally choose the threads to be displayed?

Members can modify the forums displayed on the ATS "New Posts" page with the pull-down menu below:
ATS and PTS: Default, shows new posts in threads from both boards (some PTS forums excluded).
ATS Only: Specifies that only ATS threads should be shown (includes forums that appear on all boards).
myATS: Specifies that only threads from forums for which you subscribed in myATS will be shown.
ATS and myATS: Specifies that threads from ATS forums and your subscribed forums from myATS will be shown.

It is a bit amazing how each and every day members want the board tailored to thier own wants and desires.

It seems that features are constantly being added and new ideas formed to make this site more audience friendly, but sheez, it is never enough!

I guess everyone is different, but I do agree with the last couple of posters, generally the diamonds are found in the rough.

To limit your exposure here to certain forums would definitely limit your information intake and availability, but to each his own!

And it would be reasonable to keep in mind that many of the members english is not the first language so I am impressed with the ability to master the
language as well as alot of people do! This in response to the complaint of punctuation and grammer.
